A hydraulic cylinder on my tractor backhoe blew out, and the dealer said to just buy a new one. No way. I'll fix that thing for $25 instead. While I'm at it, I patch another cylinder with a scratched rod in a way that you just aren't supposed to: welding it. With some care and patience, I think it came out really well. Will it last?
I also explain how hydraulics work, the physics behind them, and have a discussion on just how friggin awesome hydraulics really are!
***UPDATE: The dealer really did a disservice telling me to buy a new cylinder. It turns out that the backhoe on this machine is AMERICAN MADE, by a company called Bradco in Texas. If you contact Bradco, they do indeed sell seal kits for these cylinders. I don't think Mahindra is at fault for this, but rather the dealer who should have just said: "Hey, that backhoe is made by Bradco. Call them." I think the person I spoke with couldn't find info on the backhoe and so just gave me the easy answer: "Buy a new one."
